The man pages are converted to DocBook with doclifter and Moin can display DocBook XML as "normal-looking" wiki pages. The editing part seems to be somewhat of a problem. The end users should be able to edit the man pages with wiki markup, since DocBook XML might be a bit difficult and scary for someone who sees it for the first time. So far the idea is to convert troff into wiki markup for user editing and then export DocBook XML from the wiki markup. That XML could then be again converted to "anything" the upstream projects need. But the point is, how can we make sure that this troff -> wiki -> docbook -> troff (or something else) series of conversions doesn't lose any information? -- Ville-Pekka Vainio vpivaini@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
